Major Benefits of ISO 45001

If you implement the system and structure, and do it properly, you can reduce the risk of causing harm to the people working for you.

According to ILO statistics published in 2014, around 2.3 million died as a result of work-related accidents or diseases (ill health) in 2013. These are shocking statistics and a heavy burden for society. Implementing a strong occupational health and safety management system helps organizations reduce accidents and ill health, avoid costly prosecutions, perhaps even reduce insurance costs, as well as create a culture of positivity in the organization when its people see that their needs are being taken into account.
